About Teaspoon sugar
Teaspoon sugar, typically referring to one teaspoon (4 grams) of granulated white sugar, is a common sweetener derived from sugarcane or sugar beet plants. It is widely used in cuisines globally to enhance flavor, balance acidity, or add sweetness to beverages, baked goods, and sauces. A teaspoon of sugar contains approximately 16 calories and 4 grams of carbohydrates, with no fat, protein, vitamins, or minerals. While it is a quick source of energy due to its simple carbohydrate structure, excessive consumption of added sugars has been linked to health concerns, including obesity, diabetes, and heart disease. It is recommended to moderate intake as part of a balanced diet. For a healthier alternative, natural sweeteners like honey or fruit-based syrups may be used, which provide added nutrients.
